Solicitor Robert A, Cooper, of the
eighth judicial circuit, has completed
his annual report and filed it with the
Attorney General; this completes a
term of almost four years for Mr.
Cooper, he having been elected im
mediately upon the formation of the
new circuit. At the time of his elec
tion Mr. Cooper was the youngest So
licitor in the Stnte; his record is
among the best of them all and today
there is not an abler prosecuting at
torney in tin; entire round of circuits.
From the 1908 report submitted by
Solicitor Cooper is gleaned the fact
that he has tried 211 eases, which re
sulted in 1"'.i convictions, 37 not guil
ty, and it l no bills and discontinued.
Of this number IS were tried for mur
der, with 1<> convictions of murder.
20 convictions of manslaughter, 11
not guilty, and 7 no bills and discon
tinued. There were tried 51 eases of
assault and battery, with 2S convic
tions, "> not guilty, and LS no bills and
discontinued.
By counties the apportionment is ns
follows:
Abbeville?ft murder eases; 2 con
victions and .". not guilty.
Lnurens? 10 murder cases; 12
found guilty and ;i not guilty.
(! reen wood?.1 murder cases; ;;
guilty and 2 not guilty.
New berry - 19 murder cases; 13
convicted and 1 acquitted.
The percentage of convictions arc:
Abbeville 09, Greenwood 84, Laurens
80, and N'ewberry 85. In Abbeville
county there were 5 cases of viola
tion of Iho dispensary law, with i
found guilty and 1 no bills and dis
continued. (This number applies to
?only those cases brought into the
Court; there were about 2it other
of viol nt Ion of the dispensary law In
Abbeville this year.) Orenwood
COUIIty, hi cases, with 15 convictions;
Laurens county, 5 cases, with 2 guilty
and I not guilty; N'ewberry counts

Childs himself vetoed Hie arrangement
suggesting a subscript ion bnnqticl in
stead for the benefit of (he civic Leu
gne. The ladies decided (here would
be more money in (he "hoi supper"
and less I rouble. The affair passed
off most pleasantly.
The new station Is a beautiful build
lug of pressed brick. Architecturally
it is not surpassed in South Carolina.
People of Clinton CIUI hardly realize
that after the Inadequate facilities
with which this town has been com.
polled to get along with for so long,
it is now blessed with a waiting place
for travellers thai Is n nlly n thing of
beauty.
The station WfiH built by the Co
lumbia. N'ewberry and Lau: ; ns Ball?

between thai road and the Seaboard
Air Line. The trains have no! begun

Destructive Fire at Waterloo,
Waterloo. Dec. in. Beginning at
about 1 o'clock this morning there oc
curred bore a vory destructive lire,
which came near laying the whole
town in ashes: as it was a ginnery,
where the lire originated, :i store .-mil
a wart* room were destroyed. Had it
not been for the excellent work of the
"bucket brigade" the Charleston ami
Western Carolina depot and a number
Of residences, all of which nt times
were in a blaze, would have ;ilso been
burned.
The hie broke out in the ougine
room of the Long & Culhertson gin
nery; from this the ware room of Mr.
T. E. Harris took Arc and was soon in
ashes: the store room of Mr Harris,
next door, soon caught and was de
st royed. The Charleston and West
orn Carolina depot and the residence
of Mr. II. C. Fuller, across the streit
caught lire, hut were saved by the
good work of the citizens.
The Long &? Culhertson ginnery w;is
valued at $2,600, and w;is insured for
$2.000. Mr. Harris's st?rt? and stock
of goods were valued ;il $7,nun, on
which there was $3,000 insurance. An
empty store room belonging to Mr
L. L. Dendy was burned, and the and
the pOStOfflCO. which was located ill
Ml', Harris's store, was. of course, de
stroyed, however all the valuable mall
was saved. In all likelihood the Long
& Culhertson ginnery will he rebuilt
id an early date.
